Galley Romain/Citywide Celeabration of Women Artists - Malika Jackson

My focus has mainly been the female
figure.Through the use of various
elements of paint, clay and wood I interpret a mood, feeling or emotion, with
the use of color, shape, line and form.I can tell a story of serenity, faith, hope, friendships and more.Building upon layers of color or the use of
flat warm and cool colors helps to draw my audience into a realistic,
interpretative and /or cubistic female art form.

T

hrough the use of clay, I create
form and movement-a cerebral and aesthetic link to the earth.When I can bring a character to life, or tell
a story by transforming a simple lump of clay to a third dimension, I get great
joy and satisfaction through the use of this expressive medium.

I want my work to be my voice, to
impact and move my audience to bring a smile, tears, joy and even for
some-change; not only for now, but for perpetuity.
